Chapter 247 Rumors about the Uzumaki Naruto family
Konoha Village is getting more and more lively, and a new rumor suddenly appeared in the village, which scared the melon-eaters so much that they almost threw away the melons in their hands.
The day before, they were still discussing which of the Uchiha clan and Shimura Danzo in the village was the murderer of the Fourth Generation. Today, they had turned all their attention to the yellow-haired boy in the village who often ran around.
It is said that before the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and his wife died, in order to prevent the Kyuubi from continuing to destroy Konoha, they sealed it in their newly born son.
The child they left behind is just six years old this year. He is a first-year student at the ninja school. His name is Uzumaki Naruto. He is also called the Demon Fox by the people in the village.
"When the Fourth Hokage-sama was defending the village six years ago, and his wife died together, did he really leave behind a child?"
"It may not be impossible. I remember that the fourth generation's wife is Kushina-sama. If I remember correctly, her last name is Uzumaki..."
"What the hell are those big shots doing! How can that demon fox boy be the son of the Fourth Generation! The Fourth Hokage is the most perfect ninja!"
"It's hard to say. It's normal for a tiger father to have a dog son. Aren't the two sons of the captain of the police force in the village a living example?"
"...You have a point..."
"Yes! Who can believe that Itachi-sama would have a younger brother like that! And that brat named Sasuke is often with the demon fox boy!"
"..."
In the streets and alleys, villagers and ninjas gathered together, each discussing their own opinions. Six years was not a long time, and they could still remember the demeanor of Namikaze Minato.
Some people don't want to believe this is true anyway, but when they discuss it, they always accept it with a skeptical attitude.
It's just that when the ANBU ninjas and police forces monitor the rumors in the village, they always feel that there is something weird in these rumors...
Until noon, the rumors suddenly escalated out of control...
"Have you heard? Master Jiraiya adopted that demon fox not to monitor him, but because the demon fox is the son of his disciple..."
"Master Jiraiya's disciple, isn't he the Yondaime-sama!"
"Have you heard? That demon fox is the son of the Fourth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage is actually Lord Jiraiya's son, so Lord Jiraiya's grandson is the demon fox!"
"As expected, that's why Jiraiya-sama adopted the demon fox, but who is the Yondaime's mother? Jiraiya-sama is not married yet!"
"Who else do you think it could be! Who else do you think it could be with that hereditary blond hair, besides the hot-tempered medical minister?!"
"so…"
Konoha Village is not that big.
In the afternoon, the rumors secretly spread by Konoha's senior officials spread rapidly, and the villagers of Konoha Village unexpectedly unanimously agreed on the version...
"It's really unexpected! The fourth generation is actually the illegitimate son of Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama! It's a pity that the fourth generation died young, and the white-haired man gave the black-haired man..."
"Yes, but luckily the Yondaime-sama left behind a child, even though that child was the demon fox in the village..."
"..."
It was obvious that the gossip about the private lives of Konoha's top officials was more popular with the villagers than any other secrets, and their thinking was biased.
And this kind of half-truth and half-false rumors are obviously not easy to control. When Konoha's ANBU ninja reported the news to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage was silent for a long time with the pipe in his mouth.
Well, Jiraiya has indeed liked Tsunade since he was a child.
The matter involves the privacy of two disciples, and since they both travel frequently, there is no guarantee that something will not happen...
But their son is the Fourth Hokage, so that is pure nonsense... His care for Minato Namikaze and his wife back then was far superior to that of Jiraiya. How could the old man not know Minato Namikaze's life experience!
If the rumors about Tsunade and Jiraiya are not controlled, it is estimated that the blond woman will really be able to punch the Hokage Building with one punch...
But the core of this matter should be Naruto!
Sarutobi Hiruzen tilted his head and looked at the ANBU ninja: "Where is Uzumaki Naruto? I remember that he should be out of school at this time..."
"After Jiraiya-sama was hospitalized the day before yesterday, Uzumaki Naruto has been taking care of him in the hospital every day after school..."
After the ANBU ninja paused for a moment, he couldn't help but said: "Hokage-sama, is Uzumaki Naruto really the grandson of Jiraiya-sama? Is the Yondaime really the illegitimate son of Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen squeezed out two words through his teeth: "...get out!"
How come you, a trained ANBU ninja, become like other ordinary people in the village and spread rumors!
Fruit shop.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't know the news yet. He was carefully hiding behind a wooden door: "Boss, can you sell me some fruit?"
"Demon fox, get out...come here!"
After the shop owner cursed, he looked at the paint on the little guy's face and the cautious expression, waved his hand, and coldly snorted: "Get what you want! Get out of here after you finish it..."
"Thanks!"
Because Jiraiya is admitted to the hospital, Uzumaki Naruto will visit him every day after school these days to prevent the old man from being lonely in the hospital...
The shop owner looked at the yellow-haired boy who packed the fruit, put down the money, and left lonely, and suddenly said: "Hey, that little devil fox!"
"...What...what's wrong? Is there not enough money?"
This sounds a little sad.
When Naruto Uzumaki goes shopping in the village, he is always inexplicably discriminated against by others. This is the current situation of Jinchuuriki in the ninja world.
The store owner's mood was very complicated. After much deliberation, he didn't know how to express it. He just warned him in a soft voice: "In the future... don't be naughty again..."
"Why?"
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but be stunned.
The owner of the fruit shop looked at him without saying anything and waved him away. His deep-rooted fear of the demon fox finally outweighed his pity for the child.
He will not treat this yellow-haired boy too much in the future. The Yondaime Hokage, who always had a warm smile, once brought hope to Konoha.
On the way to the hospital, Uzumaki Naruto finally felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the village. Although many people still avoided him after seeing him and pointed at him from a distance, but they didn't look at him.
The person who yelled was gone.
"I'm not used to it!"
Uzumaki Naruto kept turning his head, looking at the villagers who were still some distance away from him, and suddenly smiled: "But it seems to be a good thing... let's go find the lustful immortal first! He will be discharged from the hospital soon!"
Discharge from the hospital was impossible.
In view of Jiraiya's unrestrained words, after hearing about his 'intimate affair' with Tsunade, his face was full of excitement, and he successfully angered the blond twintails...
